English Translation

: - 6 - Individual statements show that, in some economic circles too, the rally is considered to be a propagandist manoeuvre of the German leadership, that the speech is proof of the weakness of the empire and that it must be seen as a sign of a more moderate course or only as propaganda for the present requirements. In such circles one should continue to be confident in the belief in a defeat of Germany and the view that the military decision ultimately depends on the will of England and America, with predominantly sympathy for the Americans and the danger of the Bolshevization of Europe apparently being mitigated under the impression of counter-news. III. The impression and assessment of special places in the speech. Although the opinions on the danger of a Bolshevisation of Europe as highlighted in the speech are not very numerous, it can be seen from the collected material that the Czech industrial, especially since the severe struggles of the last time on the Eastern Front, has begun to deal with the problem of the Bolshevik danger. While he may have regarded Bolshevism as a federal foreign policy partner, he now seems clear to him.
